Job description

Flexcompute is seeking an experienced software developer to contribute to the meshing for computational fluid dynamics simulations that is designed for multi-node CPUs and GPUs. The successful candidate will have a critical role in designing and implementing cutting-edge algorithms with an emphasis on speed, robustness, accuracy, and scalability. This position offers a unique opportunity to explore state-of-the-art surface and volume meshing techniques and computational geometry algorithms in a production environment. The candidate will gain experience working with highly experienced professionals and be an integral part of the product development, release, maintenance, and support phases. Over time, the strong collaborative nature of this role offers exposure to Flexcompute’s sophisticated multi-physics simulation and design optimization technologies.

What you will do

• Independently implement, test, and document surface, volume and adaptive meshing features
• Devise efficient computational geometry related data structures for operating on mesh elements that allow fast addition, deletion and search.
• Profile and optimize feature implementation to improve speed and scalability on CPUs/GPUs
• Contribute to general source code maintenance and other relevant software development activities (bug fixes, support, etc)
• Collaborate with teams developing the user-interface and scientific visualization tools/technologies making user experience a priority
• Collaborate with Product Management, QA, and Documentation teams to accomplish product milestones in a timely manner
• Follow sound software engineering practices. The code we write today will underpin our platform simulation products for years to come – it needs to be maintainable, extensible and robust

Why Join Us?
